< Exodus 24 >

1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũũke kũrĩ Jehova, wee na Harũni, na Nadabu, na Abihu, na athuuri mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli, mũinamĩrĩre mũhooe mũrĩ haraaya,
2 And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.
no Musa wiki ũgaakuhĩrĩria Jehova; acio angĩ matigooke hakuhĩ. Nao andũ acio angĩ a Isiraeli matikambate nawe.”
3 Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.
Nake Musa agĩthiĩ na akĩĩra andũ ciugo ciothe cia Jehova na mawatho make, nao andũ magĩĩtĩkanĩria na mũgambo ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte, nĩtũgwĩka.”
4 Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Nake Musa akĩandĩka ũhoro wothe ũrĩa Jehova aarĩtie. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ agĩũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, agĩaka kĩgongona magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma, na akĩrũgamia itugĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia mahiga irũgamĩrĩire mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli.
5 And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.
Ningĩ agĩtũma aanake amwe a Isiraeli, nao makĩruta magongona ma njino, na magĩthĩnja tũtegwa tũrĩ igongona rĩa ũiguano kũrĩ Jehova.
6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.
Musa akĩoya nuthu ya thakame yatuo akĩmĩĩkĩra mbakũri-inĩ, na nuthu ĩrĩa ĩngĩ akĩmĩminjaminjĩria kĩgongona kĩu.
7 And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.
Ningĩ akĩoya Ibuku rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro, na akĩrĩthomera andũ. Nao andũ magĩĩtĩkanĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgwĩka ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte; nĩtũgwathĩka.”
8 Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.
Musa agĩcooka akĩoya thakame ĩyo, akĩmĩminjaminjĩria andũ, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩ thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ kũringana na ciugo ici ciothe.”
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:
Musa na Harũni, na Nadabu na Abihu hamwe na athuuri acio mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli makĩambata,
10 And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.
na makĩona Ngai wa Isiraeli. Rungu rwa makinya make haarĩ handũ haakĩtwo wega na mahiga ma yakuti ya bururu, matherete o ta igũrũ rĩo rĩene.
11 And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.
No Jehova ndaigana kũhũũra atongoria acio a Isiraeli; nĩmoonire Ngai, na makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũũke kũrĩ niĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ, na ũikare ho, na nĩngũcooka ngũnengere ihengere cia mahiga, irĩ na maandĩko ma watho na maathani marĩa nyandĩkĩte nĩguo ũmarutage andũ a Isiraeli.”
13 Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
Ningĩ Musa akiumagara marĩ na mũteithĩrĩria wake Joshua, nake Musa akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ngai.
14 And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.
Akĩĩra athuuri acio atĩrĩ, “Twetererei haha nginya rĩrĩa tũgaacooka. Harũni na Huri marĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũngĩgĩa na ciira nĩathiiage kũrĩ o.”
15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.
Rĩrĩa Musa aambatire kĩrĩma-inĩ, itu rĩkĩhumbĩra kĩrĩma,
16 And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.
naguo riiri wa Jehova ũgĩikara igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai. Kĩrĩma gĩkĩhumbĩrwo nĩ itu rĩu mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja Jehova agĩĩta Musa arĩ itu-inĩ rĩu.
17 And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.
andũ a Isiraeli moonaga riiri wa Jehova ũtariĩ ta mwaki wa kũniinana ũrĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ.
18 And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa agĩtoonya itu-inĩ o akĩambataga kĩrĩma. Agĩikara kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, ũtukũ na mũthenya.
